A 1982 painting of a skull by Jean-Michel Basquiat was recently sold at
Sotheby’s auction for the staggering amount of $110.5 million. It was
purchased by a Japanese billionaire.
To each his own, and if someone finds value in such an ugly painting, then I
suppose they have their reasons. I don’t know how it can be denied that
Basquiat’s skull painting looks like the kind of graffiti one would find on
a New York City subway. I can say this, though, that Basquiat surely made a
sucker of at least one Japanese mogul. In fact, he’s made suckers of all
sorts of rich and pretentious folks, including Libtards like Johnny Depp,
Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jay-Z.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy became popular as a result of
disingenuous White liberals who purchased his stupid paintings in order to
show how "non-racist" they were. They probably told their other White
friends about him and, before long, collecting the paintings of Jean-Michel
Basquiat became the stamp of "coolness" and proof of one’s diversity-loving
credentials.
True to form, this Haitian/Puerto Rican mongrel died at the ripe old age of
27 (heroin overdose)...
